I've decided to start a list of the short stories that made me say, "Wow!" Some of these I read in one story compilation or another. A few I found online. Many I heard on the incredible Selected Shorts podcast. And because I'm trying to get better about knowing individual authors' work, I've organized these by writer. If you have any suggestions of others I should read, throw it in the Comments below.
